As Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series continues to amass its core cast, the show has added Will Poulter to its ranks.

Via Variety, Poulter has landed a leading role in the small-screen offering, although his exact role is being kept under wraps right now. Poulter is likely best known to genre fans for the likes of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Midsommar, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and The Maze Runner.

Specifics on the show as a whole are being kept relatively hush-hush right now bar the fact that JD Payne and Patrick McKay are writing the series. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s J.A. Bayona is also on board to direct several episodes of the small-screen trek to Middle Earth.

Expect more on Lord of the Rings as it continues to develop.
